No more whales in captivity!

The visitors are just as much to blame, how can we have so little empathy for them?
AceOfSpadefish@reddit
Do people even go to Marineland anymore?
Oyapock@reddit
Yes, otherwise these parks would no longer exist. No visitors = no money = no park
AceOfSpadefish@reddit
Pretty sure they have no money already, the park has been struggling for years

more fucked up when you consider that some of them died at around 5 years old and they can live in the wild up to 70 years old. Orcas can live up to 90 years

Beluga whales should live and die free in ocean, not in terrible amusement park captivity
The latest beluga death is the fourth in the past year, provincial records show. Since 2019, 16 belugas and one killer whale have died at the Niagara Falls, Ont., tourist attraction, the only place in the country that still holds whales in captivity

A four year investigation? This is inhumane and they should've been shut down at least two years ago, surely?
Separate-Ad6636@reddit
Empty the fucking tanks!
AlanSinch@reddit
Be sure to take the whales out first!

The people who go to these kinds of places are equally to blame. It's lamentable in our time, with all the documentaries and the awareness around this subject that some people don't care so much

So unbelievably depressing .

"Another beluga whale has died at Marineland and four years into a provincial probe, Ontario's solicitor general is saying little about the investigation's progress.
The latest beluga death is the fourth in the past year, provincial records show. Since 2019, 16 belugas and one killer whale have died at the Niagara Falls, Ont., tourist attraction, the only place in the country that still holds whales in captivity. And three out of five belugas that Marineland sold to Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut have died since being moved there in the spring of 2021.
Ontario's Animal Welfare Services, which is part of the Ministry of the Solicitor General, launched an investigation into Marineland in 2020. The next year, the province declared all marine mammals at Marineland in distress due to poor water quality and ordered the park to fix the issue — the park appealed while denying its animals were in distress, but later dropped that appeal."
